elderly recommendation

I thought some of you could use it as a holiday idea: My gramps lives in a nursing home, he’s very happy there and it’s a nice place. He’s a big reader, always has been, but lately his cataracts get in the way of him reading some text, especially stuff on a computer screen. Anyway, I bought and installed the new version of Dragon Naturally Speaking ( http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/ ) for him and now he has it set up so that he can just tell the computer to read something and it will read it out loud for him. He can boot up and start his browser and do everything online with voice commands too, so that he doesn’t really have to look at the screen much at all. Anyway, I think it’s great that this kind of thing is available.
